Chapter 678: Soul Shock

Gal Gadot has her own ideas for the actors of the film, she has contacted Bill Rothes and asked him to help find CAA's lesser-known and extremely good looking actors and actresses, which may be difficult in other circles, but it is too easy to do in Hollywood, and there are countless handsome men and women who can't find a chance to stand out in Hollywood.

In addition, she has also contacted several Victoria's Secret angel models, with the plump and tall bodies of Victoria's Secret supermodels, it is very suitable to play the heroine, just to find a few of them with the most beautiful faces, which must be able to satisfy the appetite of many people, and some Victoria's Secret supermodels look quite weird, they may be in line with the fashion aesthetic, but they may not please fans.

If you are a male protagonist, you can also look for a professional male model......

There is no rush in any of this, Gal Gadot knows that the most important job now is to assist Murphy in the last two films, including "Dark City", Murphy has made a strict plan for this since last year, and the first step of the plan has also been very smooth and successful, as evidenced by the Oscar statuette for Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture.

But she knew that Murphy wanted more than that, but to leave an indelible mark on Hollywood with the help of the unprecedented favorable situation created.

After learning about Murphy's plan, Gal Gadot gradually understood why Murphy became friends with people like Diego Rose, who seemed very fanatical about their pursuit of making a name in the world.

Gal Gadot shook his head suddenly, how many people in this world can get rid of the influence of fame and fortune? It's impossible for her and Murphy anyway.

In the years that followed, her main focus was on assisting Murphy with the studio and Dark City, and Fifty Shades of Gray progressed very slowly.

On the other hand, the News Corp. and the Murdoch family buggate scandal did not directly affect Twentieth Century Fox in the end, and "Dark City" will be released simultaneously in the United Kingdom as planned, which also makes Murphy relieved that he does not want to see the loss of the main market in the United Kingdom.

Everything is back on track, 2012 is over, and in the new year, the promotion and distribution of the film are going according to plan, after the commercial landed in the Super Bowl commercial time in early February, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox released the first official trailer for "The Dark City", and fans responded strongly, and countless people expressed their anticipation for the film through the Internet and social networking sites.

Subsequently, a special film market statistics agency released a data, which showed that in the past two years, "City of Chaos" was the most pirated film downloaded on the Internet, which is definitely not a good thing for Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox, but it is enough to prove that in the post-theater era, "City of Chaos" has directly or indirectly laid a strong audience base for "Dark City" with a strong word-of-mouth effect.

Viral marketing, regular publicity, various statistical ...... Twentieth Century Fox has taken promotional marketing to the extreme.

In late February, after adding the titles of Twentieth Century Fox and Stanton Studios, Murphy completed all the post-production work for the film, and the film was immediately held in a very small test screening inside Twentieth Century Fox, and the results of the test screening were shocking.

"Murphy ......"

Resisting the discomfort caused by the sudden bright light after opening the curtains, James Murdoch looked straight at Murphy, like a devout believer looking at God, "I really don't know what to say, such a film, such a shock, I can't find the right adjective." โ€

Murphy said with a little modesty, "You're too famous, James." โ€

"No, no, no......" James Murdoch waved his hand repeatedly, "this is definitely the best commercial film of the new century!" โ€

He looked at Murphy like an apple tree that grows golden apples on its own.

The other Fox executives around them also looked at Murphy like this, it was not the first time they had watched the internal test screening of Murphy's films, those films in the past were also very good and brilliant, but none of them were as shocking and soul-shaking as "Dark City"!

This is definitely Murphy Stanton's pinnacle work since filming!

Although James Murdoch has been at the helm of Twentieth Century Fox for a few years, he is a film professional and has a certain understanding of the market, and a strong idea gradually arises in his mind at this moment, "Dark City" must be a commercial film that can generate huge profits, and if it works well, the global box office of one billion dollars......

"Listen, y'all!" James Murdoch is well aware that the quality of a film is only the basis for commercial success, and that publicity and distribution are the key, "mobilizing all the resources that the company can mobilize to run the distribution of this film!" โ€

He also said to Murphy, "I will personally call the CEOs of the three major commercial theater chains in the United States and talk to them about the theaters that will be released." โ€

Murphy nodded slightly, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." โ€

James Murdoch said a few more words, didn't stop long, and quickly left the large conference room used for temporary screenings, along with the other Twentieth Century Fox executives, while Murphy followed Carla Firth to her office.

"Coffee?"

Entering the office, Carla Firth took the initiative to ask, "Or black tea?" โ€

Murphy wasn't polite to her, "Coffee." โ€

Carla Firth walked over to the coffee machine, took a cup of coffee for Murphy, and said, "I thought Man of Steel was your limit on commercial films, I didn't think this Dark City ......"

She didn't seem to know what to say, thought for a while, and then said, "If it weren't for the time, the film could be released this awards season, I think you have a good chance of winning the Oscar for Best Director." โ€

"This kind of thing ......," Murphy shook his head, "who can say for sure." โ€

Carla Firth placed the coffee cup on the table in front of Murphy and said, "You must have a hand left." โ€

Murphy knew what she was talking about, and he didn't deny it, "As far as I know, the Catholic Church and the Vatican are very dissatisfied with the choice of the film "Diego Firth" and the Oscars, and an internal investigation process has been initiated, although it is not known at what point it has reached, but they will certainly not give up the Diocese of South Central California." โ€

He took a sip from his coffee cup, "My biggest concern is that the Catholic Church is silent, if they don't do anything, the situation will be against us, and now it seems that the Catholic Church will not remain silent." โ€

Not to mention the Archbishop Mรกrquez-Costello, since the last Oscars, the Vatican side alone His Excellency Pope Benedict XVI has expressed its dissatisfaction with him and "Diego Rose", as well as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on several occasions.

This group of people in Hollywood, whether they are old men or young people, actually have one thing in common, that is, they think that they are all different beings and deserve more freedom......

Therefore, Hollywood is the place where liberalism is most widespread in the United States, and those celebrities and celebrities, carrying the banner of liberalism, relying on their appeal and fame, dare to openly insult the president of the United States.

Those who dare to spray Bush, O'Black and Trump, and even some other groups are not fools, but some smart people, who know that in this day and age, as super celebrities and flaunting the banner of freedom, those people can't do anything to them at all, but can improve their reputation.

The basis of all this existence is actually the so-called freedom, and without these so-called freedoms, Hollywood would not be Hollywood.

"I heard you're still working for Diego Rose?" Carla Firth changed the subject, "Can he get parole?" โ€

Murphy took a sip from his coffee cup, "It's difficult, but you have to try." โ€

Carla Firth shrugged slightly, "It's not like you. โ€

"Me?" Murphy asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with me?" โ€

"You've helped him make a name for the whole world." Carla Firth said directly, "It's worthy of your friendship." โ€

"You can't say that." Murphy made an analogy, "It's like I'm in jail, what are you going to do." โ€

"Me?" Carla Firth pointed to herself and smiled suddenly, "I promise to visit you in prison every month until you are released." โ€

Murphy was speechless, too lazy to talk about this matter, as long as there was a one percent possibility, he didn't want Rose to die in prison, although it was very, very difficult, he never gave up.

Carla Firth sighed, and was not ready to persuade again, she knew what Murphy was, and just said, "Don't put yourself in it, you always have to think about Gadot's feelings." โ€

"I know." Murphy nodded, "Did you know me on the first day, how could I possibly let things involve me." โ€

He couldn't get anyone out, and he put himself in it, he would never do this kind of stupid thing.

Murphy also changed the subject, "The film will be released in early May, do we have a strong opponent in the weekends before and after?" โ€

There has been news in the circle that "Dark City" is scheduled for the opening weekend of the summer of 2013 has been circulating for a long time, and there is no heavyweight film competition on the same weekend.

"Yes." Carla Firth thought for a moment and said, "Vin Diesel's Fast & Furious franchise is always released on the last weekend of April, and Fast & Furious 6 will be released the weekend before us. โ€

"What about the next weekend?" Murphy asked.

"Your old friend's video." Carla Firth burst out laughing, "Leonardo DiCaprio's The Great Gatsby was released on May 10th. โ€

Murphy tapped the arm of his chair lightly, "These two films." โ€
